We would like to share this opening with the new Islamic Year, Muharram, from a seeker at Qudra Healing from South Africa. Our pattern of sharing dreams through this blog serves as inspiration for us and seekers in the Kingdom and beyond.

In today’s sohbet, discussing the nature of inspiration and the concept of recycling inspiration through active / passive sharing, a seeker responded, I am torn between which is better (to share or contain). The response to this came as, when this state over takes, inspiration questions, ‘it is not you, rather you a vessel which has been emptied in order to recieve. Then why keep for thyself what we send in order to share? It was sent to you, through you for ALL. We wish for you to share, this fragrance in all it’s scent. What then shall be our reply to inspiration?

Note: inspiration must come where there is emptiness; space. Occupation and clutter cannot house or welcome this guest. Through breaking, tearing and being ripped apart we die only to be born again!

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Dear Qudra,

I hope this email reaches you well and in constant spiritual elevation. May Allah increase his gracious favour upon you and your family Inshaa Allah.

I must tell you I had a dream two nights ago – I don’t recall much of the dream but you were in the dream and urging me to drink from the cup. Exclaiming to me, “drink from the wine of Rumi, DRINK!”

I even woke up saying yes I will drink from the wine of Rumi in my sleepy state.

Quite amazing. Left me with a good feeling of comfort Subhanallah.

Just felt I had to share

Much Love,

R

In response to this seeker who previously shared another dream, a poem that was transmitted to heart a few years ago, came to surface. The very intention of its composition, ‘to drink,’ shall now be shared openly with seekers of the wine. No shame is sharing, reservations no more, for the one who gave the drink through words, the same says, share the cup openly. More than a personal desire to share, we see it as an opening, an order, an obligation. As an initiate of the Mevlevi Order of Rumi, I am pleased to share the drink the love, in whatever way or form requested. I am grateful to seekers on the Path who share dreams as this remains a language, a secret code, our way of communicating where words may fail to express otherwise.

[Poetry: Qudra Healing]

Annihilation of the self, I, is attained through Ishq, fervent love for any object, person or God among other ways. Here we are speaking in reference to Mortal Love as the Way to Divine Love.

Love came to your feet in the guise of a mortal. The message she brought was a heavenly love letter drenched in wine. In false pride, you claimed piety and rejected her message. My foolish sweetheart, Love came as a teacher unto you! You decided to build an iron wall around your heart and proclaimed, ‘No need have I for mortal love, I only seek Divine!” As Love drifted away, her parting words, ‘Did you think you could reach Divine without Me? By heavens, no! Not even in a million years! Rather, if you choose me as your Path, I’ll take you to your destination. All you have to do is embrace and reciprocate.

To further elaborate, we present one of our favourite stories highlighting this subject as taught by the famed mystic and guide, Jami.

A man once came to the Spiritual Master Jami and asked to become his disciple. He had studied all the scriptures in depth and was surprised when the master asked him: ‘Have you ever been in love?’ He answered, ‘No.’ The master said, ‘Go and fall in love and suffer, then come back.” The man went into the world and acted upon Jami’s advice. When he returned, he eventually became Jami’s successor.

The Path actually begins in Fana for one’s mother. Ishq is the first lesson taught to a baby and the subject of Ishq is the mother. Then later as the child matures, the subjects change and vary. Love, a teacher in multiple forms, imparts lessons that are essential to the Path of Love. Whether one consciously signed up or not to learn these lessons, Love teaches life lessons to all. Mortal love is the Way to Divine Love. Love is the Guru.

Bismillah with the blessings of the 18th of Dhul Hijjah and the commencement of Muharram Al Sharif; the first month of the Islamic year, an opening has come. Love energy needs to be reinfused by lovers back into the cosmic landscape. The universe craves to be impregnated by masters of love in order to birth children of light.

Female masters have been sent as aid and support to gather in the Divine Feminine energy field. One of these masters, a female Tantric expert, Reiki healer, master word alchemist and poetess. Our second opening; a model-mystic health and fitness coach.

We are grateful to attract women from far and wide all coming as light workers ready to serve in the Way of Love. We are gathering women on the Zainabiyya Energetic Frequency. The time is now.

Women and Now: The Rise of the Divine Feminine

There is something I feel I must tell you about my meditation today as it melted in with all of your prayers and energy into a wide bundle of blue light.As I felt i was drawn in to the energy I had a vision:I saw a march of arabian women, all of them glowing in strength and light. They were unveiled, standing as they were in their full glory and beauty. In the first line 4 very radiant women who led the march. I don’t know which country this was in, but clearly all women stepped forward to show their true inner power of free being.They were all shining with peace, love and light and such strength.
Then I saw very muscular feminine arms…of a very beautifull woman, she lifted something. She was one of the female carriers of the Arc of the covenant!
I was told that the women would carry the light and that they would heal the men. The women would bring forth this light from the Arc. Then i saw Egypt and it’s pyramides. This is were it faded and shortly after this burst of energy i ended meditation…” (April 28th 2012 Vision by Healer Jose Smit)

Upon request to share this experience with a recent seeker, we are doing so.

Background

Actually I have been struggling for three years to solve this issue. I was a very accomplished martial artist for many years. My body was full of chi and I was a Tai Chi and Qigong expert. We spoke last August about me possibly having some reiki healing done by you but we chose to wait at the time. Well things have become significantly worse. I have been literally washed out energetically from inside through the constant struggle with my third chakra. Can you help me? This has disabled my entire life. I lost all my health space I have become spiritually redundant. I have been so ill with this for 3.5 years that it has stopped me being able to work. Please let me know your feelings. All the years cultivating my physicality and spirituality is destroyed.

Commentary

After meeting with a grandmaster yesterday, I received a follow up email from the seeker above re requesting distant healing which I agreed to. My intended time frame for the distant healing was between 9pm and dawn. The following afternoon, I received this message the same seeker:

Yes I felt the healing as it was being sent last night. It was very strong Mash’Allah. It has actually cleared out a lot of the inner blockage that was there and I was able to pray with a lot less pain this morning. I felt more or less that it was problem solved but yes definitively very very powerful. It has helped more than any other treatment I have had so far. I would highly recommend this treatment to anybody. In fact I wish only that I had had it done when we first spoke or even when I first became aware of your website. It would have saved me a lot more of the physical damage that has occurred to my body.

At one point I could actually see purple energy in the room as the healing was coming to me at around 00:49 am and the energy was very focussed and intense. Much more power than I had actually expected.

Thank you

My response

Dear Y,

The irony in my work is during the healing process, I am like a blindfolded person. I am literally unaware of what I am channeling… And when such testimonials come in, I am actually quite surprised. Further adding to the irony, I slept forgetting about the intended distant healing, thus reconfirming that intention itself is the ENERGY; the SECRET.

A female seeker in training at Qudra Healing narrates the following message sent telepathically from her Persian cat, Bubbles, which usually communicates to this seeker,

Bubbles the Persian Mystic Cat: “…pray for the animals of the world”

I have had a white Persian cat with bright yellow eyes for the past twelve years. It wasn’t until her twelfth year in my household though (I have lived abroad a large part of these twelve years), that she fell sick. This is how I realized how much she meant to me. I thought of the days she was a kitten and wondered at how old she was now. I started praying for her recovery. Now, I see her and I appreciate the beauty of Allah and His creation. In the sense that I imagine how gorgeous, powerful and mighty Allah is if He can make a cat so unique and who carries so much presence. She has a habit, especially now that we have grown closer, to come and sit by me. So when I prayed my sunset prayer and sought things within me to pray for I thought of my cat and how sick she is and I prayed for her cure. It was around this time that I felt like she had started communicating with me telepathically. She thanked me via thoughts or telepathy and asked me to pray for her and this is how I had the idea to do so. I could hear her thoughts, and continuing in her message she asked that I pray for the animal world. Apparently she is aware that humans are destroying the planet and animals are suffering from their hands. She sends messages daily to me…

To avoid a burn out syndrome and be of service to others we must we must prioritise caring for ourselves as in self-care. These seven principles are applicable for all and not just for healing practitioners. We all are healers in our own right, it is perception which fails us to see otherwise. Self rejuvenation requires us to nourish our mind, body and of course soul. A neglect of self care creates imbalance and where there is imbalance, our performance is impacted.

Seven Principles of Self-Care for Healers taken from the direct teachings of Healing Touch Founder, Janet Mentgen

Happiness is simple. It is found within and we need not seek it. It is here, right now, with us. Happiness is our essence and our source. Happiness is also a choice. Choosing happiness only increases our happiness and creates happy lives, happier societies and a happier world.

Practical Happiness in Two Steps

Create a list of a handful of activities that can actually make you happy. Keep in mind, does your list come from things that you haveor things that you do.

Incorporate them into your life on a regular basis (do them habitually), and you’ll be happier regularly.

“The reason why man seeks for happiness is not because happiness is his sustenance, but because happiness is his own being; therefore in seeking for happiness, man is seeking for himself.”

― Inayat Khan
